In some kinds of apps there can be issues that are not necessarily crashes, but where a log from the user's system is still helpful in diagnosis. Perhaps the answer is to make an app's own log and relevant system logs - but not the logs of other apps - available to that app.
- fpgeek 15y agoGood point, though the more I think about it the issues are tricky. Access to the app's own log seems like a reasonable convenience (since the app could have recorded that anyway). On the other hand, there are cases I can see (e.g. confidential documents in a word processor) where you don't want the app developer to have access to everything you do with the app (which is what giving access to the app's own log can easily turn into). The nice thing about the crash reporter case is that even if the crash report is ready-to-go the user still gets to decide whether or not to send it, so they still have direct control. Perhaps the right line would be an "own log" permission.
